Integrated E-Learning: Implications for Pedagogy, Technology and Organization (Open & Flexible Learning Series)

Integrated E-Learning: Implications for Pedagogy, Technology and Organization (Open & Flexible Learning Series)

by Wim Jochems (Editor)

Synopsis

It is widely recognized that online and e-learning is no longer an exclusive approach used only in distance education and in isolation from traditional education programmes. A real difficulty facing educators and trainers is how to integrate these new learning methods and embed them in established and existing forms of learning, teaching or training.
This book forms a serious, in-depth study of the subject and proposes that e-learning is not simply a matter of 'digitizing' traditional materials, but involves a new approach, which must take into account pedagogical, technological and organizational features to form a well-designed education system.
A practical focus is maintained throughout, with advice on implementation and case studies drawn from the contributors' considerable experience.
Integrated E-Learning is essential reading for anyone wanting to implement, design, develop or deliver e-learning or training courses.

Media Reviews
'With all the recent hype about e-learning it is a pleasure to find a book that provides a realistic picture of the state of the art, some of the problems yet to be conquered, and some possible solutions to the challenge of integrating e-learning with real instruction. This volume is a welcome and valuable contribution.' - Dr David Merrill, Professor of Instructional Technology, Utah State University, USA; 'The book is an impressive distillation of the vast experience of one of the few world-class centres of expertise in educational technology. The authors combine wisdom with practicality, founded on a clear constructivist approach to improving the quality of the learning experience. It will be invaluable to all concerned with integrating and embedding e-learning in our educational systems.' - Diana Laurillard, Pro Vice Chancellor, Learning Technologies and Teaching, The Open University, UK
